Hezbollah statement of horrific massacre of regime troops by rebels in khan al-Assal.

Lebanon's Shia Hezbollah, which has deployed fighters to fight alongside Assad's forces in Syria, in a statement released on Monday condemned the "horrific massacre" of regime troops by rebels in Khan al-Assal neigbourhood in the northern province of Aleppo.
Facing army advances in Homs, the rebels last week seized the key Khan al-Assal bastion after months of fighting. Some 150 regime troops died in fighting with rebels for control of the region. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 50 of those killed were executed by rebels.
Hezbollah meanwhile "renewed the call to the Syrian people to sit together at the negotiating table".
